While working in a restaurant one can have some pretty crazy experiences. Customers can be mean and don’t understand that not everything is the servers fault. But let’s face it, sometimes we (the servers) mess up too. Here are the top five worst things my coworkers from the British Beer Company have done to a customer.

“When I was 21, I worked a catering job at a wedding. I wasn’t comfortable yet using food trays. When I arrived to one of the tables, my tray packed with food, I started to take it all off. The tray tipped to one side and spilled salad dressing all down the woman’s back next to me. The worst part? Her gown was gorgeous.” –Kathleen Woodworth read more

Goomba’s is a Pizzeria located in Fitchburg right outside the T station on Main Street, a convenient location for any hungry person. Many students that attend the Gardner campus take the bus that goes to and from the Fitchburg station.

Goomba’s has a huge selection and variety of food to offer. They offer everything from pizza to wraps to deserts. This menu was screaming Italian all over. Perfect pizza pies lined up in a glass case as you walk towards the drinks and napkins make your mouth water if you haven’t been there before. For a hungry student this is a great stop to make if you want something that will fill you up. read more

(Archive September 1, 2011) Restaurant Review: Thai Jasmine

At 446 Lancaster St. in Leominster, MA, there sits a subtle yet precious gem among the many restaurants scattered in the area. Thai Jasmine serves a variety of delicious Thai and Vietnamese food that come with many options to allow each diner their own unique experience.

Upon arrival, my guest and I were seated at one of the ten tables in the small yet spacious restaurant. Its neat and orderly environment was inviting and calm. The tables were set comfortably apart from each other, however, on this particular visit, my guest and I were the only diners which makes it hard to judge the potential noise level of the area. Quiet music played from the TV in the corner of the room to accompany the dining experience without an overpowering noise. read more
